Well I went the long way around the block. The loooonnnngggg farcical way.

Boy it’s times like this when I get a little dusty eyed.

So now we know what $113 million will buy these days.

“Kaiser Wilhelm is being recognized more and more.”

“Many people are telling me World War I was a hoax. I don’t know. I’ve heard it from many fine people, though.”

But it’s vitally important that they be there at this time. That’s why Trump has mentioned the caravan precisely zero times since the midterm election.

So sorry for what you went through. Glad to know you’re okay now.

I’m going to try to follow Katy Perry’s remarkable grace right now, though my thoughts about Trump’s evil and ignorant tweet are much darker.

It’s the same way he thinks he can just slap tariffs on China and tell them he won’t lift them until they give him the best trade deal and that they’ll just immediately wilt and agree to all his demands.

Trump is absolutely right. “Everyone” knows that the best way to manage forests is to allow large lumber interests, who have donated to Republican interests, to freely clear cut vast swatches of land. No trees=No forest fires.

What Macron really meant was they need to build-up their cyber-defense, which isn’t really a bad idea since we have spies all over Europe (just ask our friends over in Germany).  He was also talking about creating a European military, not protect them from the US, per se, but so they can have a military that doesn’t…

He’d like to be one of them, but he knows he isn’t smart enough for them not to detest him for, among other things, somehow being president of the US. So, as he is aware that at best, he’ll be treated like someone…

If any or all European countries want to build up their military to protect against the US I would completely understand. I don't trust us at all right now and if we keep heading in the direction we're going we could easily become a threat to them. 

Better late than never I guess.

I feel very lucky to have mostly missed the newish trend of being involved in weddings that require a weekend away for a bachelorette party (usually somewhere that requires a flight), travel to an engagement party, multiple showers, an entire weekend away for the wedding, with associated activities like golf outings…

I want this to win. It was a raging joy to read.

We don’t have bridal showers here in the UK.

My best friend got married a couple of years ago. She’s super low key and didn’t really want a hen do or a shower (just one of the many reasons she is an awesome best friend). A few mates took her out for dinner and drinks, but that was it. She kept telling me that she really just wanted to celebrate with her dad. He…
